Additive testing

Norner holds leading competence in plastic additives which includes a versatile centre for additive performance testing with sophisticated laboratory equipment.

  • The additive performance test centre carries out tests based on UV exposure, oven ageing and artificial weathering.
  • In this way we investigate how plastic degradation is influenced by sunlight, humidity and temperature.

Our customer projects includes:

  • Investigate the durability and life time expectations of plastic materials by accelerated life cycle testing
  • Simulation of damaging environmental effects of long term outdoor exposure by exposing test samples to varying conditions of aggressive combinations of weathering, light, moisture and temperature
  • Material tests of exposed samples according to standard procedures in order to evaluate change in mechanical properties, additive stabilisation morphological changes etc
  • Life time estimation of materials and products based on results from accelerated tests
